VINTAGE MAH JONG SET ROSEWOOD CASE HAND PAINTED BAMBOO

ELABORATE DESIGNED TILES

This absolutely stunning Mah Jong set belongs to a friend of mine who is having to downsize her extensive collection. She doesn't remember when she acquired this set.

There are 151 tiles in this set. They include the following tiles:

• 4 each 1-9 circle design
• 4 each 1-9 bamboo design
• 4 each 1-9 line design
• 4 each directions (N, E, S, W)
• 2 sets Fancy Figures numbered 1-4
• 4 Jokers
• Patterned Tiles:  4 Blue and 4 Red
• 7 Blanks

All of the tiles in this set are shown in the photos. This set does NOT include trays or dice.

The tiles in this exquisite set are layered. The bottom layer is brown and may be bamboo. The upper layer is cream colored and may be ivory or bone. Each tile measures about 1 1/16 inch long, 3/4 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick.

What makes this vintage Mah Jong set especially desirable is the vivid and colorful designs on the tiles. I THINK they may be hand-painted. I've shown some close-up photos of a few of the tiles so interested bidders can make the determination themselves. I've examined each tile and all of them appear to be exceptionally well designed and painted. There are, of course, some minor variations but overall, the tiles are, I think, quite exceptional.

This set comes in a wood case. I think the wood might be rosewood. The top slides onto the base of the case. There are some Japanese scroll work on the top of the lid. Some of these characters are deeply incised and accented with white. Others are smaller and accented with green. The case is in good condition although there are a few scratch/scuff marks on the lid.

Winning bidder pays $15.00 for insured priority mail (please note shipping/payment details below). Don't hesitate to e-mail if you have questions or would like more information.

Don't miss this opportunity to add this stunning Mah Jong set to your collection!

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy bidding!
